Ewangelizacja a zniewolenie demoniczne – refleksje egzorcysty

Abstract

Often during evangelization courses have places manifestations of the evil spirit. Why during the courses? Because these are closed courses and persons taking participation in them can without difficulty find out, what these manifestations mean. And so, what do they mean? Manifestations of the evil spirit are a symptom of the demoniac enslavedness. They remind sometimes symptoms of the mental illness and because one ought to make the interview with the given person for his proper estimation. About the enslavedness testifies first of all a fear and an aggression of the given person against saint things. The demoniac enslavedness can be caused by the occult practices, the contact with Satanism or the call of Satan help. The preaching of the Good News by Jesus was simultaneously a fight against Satan and was connected with ejecting of the evil spirits from demoniacal people. Jesus ordered also to apostles the expelling the evil spirits. The Church from the beginning is realizing this task. Let us advert that in the primitive Church the baptism was often preceded by exorcism more than one only. It is necessary to underline that though Jesus won Satan by his own passion, death and the Resurrection, the fight against Satan is still prosecuted. St. Paul the Apostle writes: “Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. Our battle is not against human forces but against the principalities and powers, the rules of this world of darkness, the evil spirits in regions above” (Eph 6,10-12). We should doubtless very seriously to treat a problem of spiritual enslavedness in all our activities which have evangelization character.
